Abstract
A 37-year-old healthy lady was referred for left eye (OS) upper lid ptosis correction with history of gradually progressive upper lid drooping for 2 years and, an episode of subconjunctival hemorrhage. Eversion of the upper lid revealed a yellowish-pink sub-conjunctival lesion throughout the length of the upper edge of the tarsus [Figure 1]b. Three major types include: primary (AL: amyloid light chain), secondary (AA-amyloid A), and heredofamilial (ATTR- amyloid transthyretin).[[1]] Ocular adnexal amyloidosis accounts for 4% of the localized cases.
